“And how do you know this much about bombs again?”
“Honestly?” His voice is painfully calm. “The movies, mostly.”
OMG Bryce sweety honey darling
Fuuuuck being tracked. Shit's getting real. Bring it.
UGH SHAW. Sit on a beehive, dude. OMG SERIOUSLY, KICK HIS BALLS OFF SARAH. MAKE HIM A KEN DOLL. (Like i can honestly just PICTURE her fury right now and it's faaaab and he needs to die)
Are you-know-who and you-know-who-else in this yet? Two snarky gentlemen from a certain hbo miniseries?? WERE THEY THOSE TEXTS THAT DIDN'T HAVE NAMES JUST NUMBERS? CUZ THAT KIND OF REALLY FELT LIKE THEM.
Casey’s guest bedroom smells like freshly laundered sheets and her body wash, undeniable proof that she’s been spending too many nights here. Hahahaha haahaha no
God she knows all his tells. Kill me. (I MEAN LIKE DUH, BUT STILL KILL ME PLS)
like he didn’t know what to do with her when she was this easy. He caught her elbow, and with it some semblance of control, and put her in the back of a cab sometime later, told the driver her address and told her Merry Christmas, Walker before he closed the door ;alsdkfj sweet sweet beautiful tension
UGH AND HIM TRYING TO TALK TO HER AND HER SHUTTING HIM OUT AND UGH
Ahhhh this scene with someone in Bryce & Chuck's hideout is making me legit nervous. Like I'm trying to glance ahead lol but be good and just keeping reading. BUT AHH GRETA! DUN DUN DUN
Ben smiles in a way that might be considered fondly, although whether that’s a fondness for his roommate or for his roommate’s pain is up for debate. SHUT UP THAT'S TOTALLY THEM ISN'T IT. READY FOR THIS!!!
"AND I HANG OUT IN A LOT OF DARK ALLEYS"
THIS IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
STEEEPPHHHHH THIS IS SO GOOOOOD (THIS COMMENT IS A HOT MESS SORRY. JUST UNEDITED RAMBLING. IT'S LIKE 2AM. UR WELCOME)
I think I remembered that Bryce was actually a giant geek who just hides it better than Chuck/Morgan/everyone else when I was writing that part about the movies. Zork! Talking in Klingon! Total geek. So of course he was probably also a movie buff who complained about the inaccuracies of every film/tv show ever made once he actually became a spy but also secretly learned things from them like how to jimmy a door open with a credit card or how to reflect low to the ground laser beams with tinfoil so you can walk through them. Or maybe that's just stuff I learned. But also about bombs and defusing them because I like to think that's not realistically something you run into every day in the world of espionage.
Unexpectedly disturbing and heavy thoughts, starring Daniel Shaw. I, like, rewrote that scene a hundred times, and I think he just became more of a bastard as I went along. My hatred bled over. Whoops.
Those texts, btw, since idk if the coda clarified it at all, but they were between Greta/Erika and Unnamed Source Who You Will See Later On Like In Part 8. Different sideplot, It's fairly obvious where the HBO boys were (living together! because accidental feels in inappropriate locations with surrogate characters). I barely bothered to change their names (think real hard on the name Ben Stewart and you'll get the irony of the last name change).
I, to this day, don't know where that Merry Christmas, Walker bit came from. I think I wrote it at like 6AM before dashing off to school and never looked at it again. But it's kind of my favorite now because tension. (Also, I really like the refusal to use first names over the course of this fic and really the actual series and that point was driven home by tag commentary I read the other day for another ship that basically said 'people call the people they love by the names they know them by' and like goodnight.
Super happy that you were feeling nervous during that whole intruder debacle. I've written that scene so many times and obviously I know what happens so I have like no objectivity when it comes to telling how it plays to the audience.
So glad you're liking this! So sorry I'm word vomiting at your word vomit! ;)
